The Fairy Reel, played in D, is a nice tune for practicing what Seamus Ennis called “nipping”: triplets in the high octave, like FGA and FGF. I like this tune because you can fit in lots of them leading from a high G, a technique Seamus was a master of - listen to him play the Salamanca, slow it down some. Another tune you can pack full of these is the Scholar. Jackson’s Morning Brush has plenty of these in the 4th and 1st parts. And so on.
don’t forget that old warhorse the Derry Hornpipe. Great tune.
Plus it has that nifty G# in the last part ![]()
PD.
Discussing “Nipping” on the chiff and fipple is a clear violation of the decency code by fcc regulations. You could get us shut down!! ![]()
By the way I love the tips you advanced players are submitting and the tunes where they apply…just watch your language. ![]()
